A corner on a road is banked at an angle of 10° to the horizontal. the radius of the corner is 80m. At what speed should a car make the turn if the driver wishes to eliminate the influence of friction on the car's tyres?
Homework Equations
F=mgsin(θ)
The Attempt at a Solution
I think I need to consider the forces.
The normal contact force is acting upwards perpendicular to the road surface. Weight is acting downwards vertically. Frictional force is acting down the slope of the road. Centripetal force is acting inward horizontally.
F=mgsin(θ) = ? No mass
